Academic Advising

The mission of the Center for Diversity and Multicultural Affairs is to provide OHSU with vision and leadership pertaining to diversity and cultural issues as they relate to academic matters, faculty, staff, hospitals and patient services.  

In addition, CeDMA develops and implements programs and activities to advance the academic, career and personal development of underrepresented minority and disadvantaged student populations. We offer academic advising to prospective college students interested in OHSU programs.  

To ensure proper advising is delivered to students, we ask one to prepare appropriately. Students need to provide the following prior to scheduling an advising session with a CeDMA advisor:

• Current transcript and past transcripts of all colleges/universities attended
• Current resume (volunteer efforts, community service projects, etc.)
• Completed CeDMA Academic Advising Forms (Advising Form and Authorization to Release Academic Information Form)

Once all necessary information has been received, an appointment will be scheduled to meet with advisor for evaluation and academic advising. Students will be provided with short and long term academic preparation plan. Students are also referred to services as appropriate i.e. referrals, scholarships, enrichment/academic programs, shadowing, mentorship, volunteer, and paid opportunities. Students are tracked and monitored until they reach their career/academic goal.
